Your Own National Anthem
03:02

You're changing sides
To get you through the war
Cause you'll lose your life
No matter which flag you adorn
But I'll stay here by your side
And hang some cloth that we dyed
And cry when cymbals crash
Oh symbolism always lasts
So you're writing down
Your own national anthem
With profane sounds
You'd kill to have it sung
But it kills you deep inside
To know all your clever rhymes
Won't be seen as more than such
Oh symbolism don't mean much
But I'll stand tall and hoist the colors
Right through it all,
through the perilous fight!

I breathe interest in your general direction
No disguise for those frostbitten eyes
But your warm lips hide that bitter smile and wicked tounge
This love is an ever waning crescent
But I have no idea of the name of the melody you sung
Sick for days or maybe month, it's been so long since we have seen the sun
And twice as long since I have heard that melody or seen the girl I love
And this life like swimming through quicksand
Where I constantly search through this endless surf
For the next best shore of earth to bring me definition
Who goes wandering through this gorgeous land?
Is it me or who I'd thought I'd be?
In either case, I have no recognition
There's no sentinel or guardian for such a thing so sweet
Nor guarantee from lights in the sky
Let the wishing wells burst and feed starving children
Who pray to a ghost so high
Oh cause don't the children know that ghost and phantoms are a joke
The only monster in their closet is a sad false hope

Coming of Age

She's looking for the keys to her car
To that Subaru her father tried to discard
When the engine blew out on the way to some bar
But now it runs like new if you can get it to start
Don't be afraid BUT DON'T FUCK IT UP
She parks and steps out on the asphalt
And she walks towards me, her shoes destroyed by the salt
And she's shivering, but you can see her resolve
As she starts to speak and says its nobody's fault
But she don't believe herself anymore
We've past the age where those cliches seem self-assured
And we realize what each other's for
Something to hold as we're running towards
Coming of Age
And that whole afternoon just felt fake
When she told me she was gonna move to Salt Lake
Then described her dreams of life in the Mormon state
And told me that she wouldn't make it a mistake
Just don't be afraid BUT DON'T FUCK IT UP
But she don't believe herself anymore
We've past the age where those cliches seem self-assured
And we realize what each other's for
Something to hold as we're running towards
Coming of Age
And so we inherit the earth
I never thought I'd make it this far but now I'm saying good bye to her
and Coming of Age
But we don't believe ourselves anymore
We're at the age where there's nothing that feels sure
And we realize what we're fighting for
A reason to stay and a foot to put out the door
But we don't believe ourselves anymore
We've past the age where those cliches seem self-assured
And we realize what each other's for
Something to hold as we're running towards
Coming of Age

It's by the hill or its by the creek
This towns not the world but I don't wanna leave oh no
And even though I hate the snow
I love the feeling of feeling cold
And warming up to our favorite songs
The speakers barely worked but we still sang along
Cigarette smoke and cigarette burn
Cigarette drags when I forget the words
Maybe I'll leave but I'll always come back
Or maybe I'll get stabbed or I'll die of a heart attack
Maybe I won't care
Maybe I'll die ready
But the last thing I'll remember is growing up at a steady...pace
Well everyone wants to leave and be grown
But I'll still got the shoes that I owned
When I was 16, my lungs first blackened
We weren't always happy but circumstances happen
And that's okay and so am I
Cause these are the years that people let fly
But I sure as hell won't, I'm sure as hell not
Cause I'm sure as hell happy with the home I've got
Maybe I'll leave but I'll always come back
Or maybe I'll get stabbed or I'll die of a heart attack
Maybe I won't care
Maybe I'll die ready
But the last thing I'll remember is growing up at a steady...pace

I Should Have Stayed
04:09

Post continuous bitter taste
Come sweet lips and a sweeter embrace
An electrified fingertips spewing infinite energy
And gripping everything I ever need
Oh the warmth that I felt on my face
Those familiar eyes were a blaze
And tied knots in my gut that were tight as the laces I'd wear on my feet til i'd bleed
And the problems not you, love, it's me
Haven't seen as soul behind eyes in weeks
And I haven't seen you in years and I fear
That I'm not the same man that I once was
And I'll stay if you prove me wrong
You and I both know that's what I want
You and I both know how I long for the warmth of these covers with you by my side
Or at least I know
Post embrace comes a beautiful rage
All the years that lead up to this daze
So terribly induced by this gaze at him and you
Gripping everything you'll ever need
I believe hell exists in all of us
But in you, it's especially prominent
I SHOULD HAVE STAYED

Ladies' Night

I was scared to death the first time that I saw your beautiful face
A feeling I could not control came and it flooded my unprepared brain
Now I want to split the world in two so I can have you by my side
And I won't rest til we have the rest of our days to share before we die
And when I think about your smile, I wanna go and tear up every map
Cause they just remind me how far away I am from your breathtaking laugh
And I want to split the world in two so I can have you by my side
And I won't rest til we have the rest of our days to share before we die
